The Musician of Mosul
Ameen Mokdad plays many different instruments and also composes his own music. He is from Mosul in northern Iraq and when the city was occupied by militants from the so-called Islamic State Group in 2014, he played his cello on the roof in defiance of their occupation, despite the risk.
